KDEs dependencies are screwed up.  libjpeg6a is from the "old-libs"
section; i.e. the libc5 compatibility stuff.  KDE is actually linked
against the files from libjpegg6a (i.e. the libc6 stuff).  So in this case
- --force-depend would work.  On the other hand, you could install libc5
version from http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/oldlibs/libjpeg6a.html
and keep dpkg happy by satisfying all of the dependencies...
